I've been putzing with this sketch program (Google Sketchup) every now and then and today it has been helpful to visualize siding. We keep coming back to cedar shingles, but it would nice to know whether we want to stain them before putting them on. Then there's deciding whether to paint the trim. And that big space on the right side of this wall, what do we do with that? So far we can see hanging artwork, running horses or cranes in flight or something. There's no hurry for that part, but we're already pushing the siding date pretty far beyond what's recommended, as far as leaving housewrap out in the wind and sun. So siding time starts pretty soon.
We put a subfloor on the attic space in the past week and a half, and the work continues framing the fancy ceiling.
We've been really blessed with mild (for February) temperatures and that is forecasted to continue into the first week of March. There are several things like taxes that have been on a list of things to do when it gets too cold to work on the house this winter, but I might just have to skip out and do them in this balmy 30ยบ stuff.
But tomorrow I can't resist getting back to the ceiling. It's just getting so close.
Cool, nerds. I saw the picture of the beautiful ceiling. I mean, it's rightfully breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteGreat!
I'm doing taxes today and tomorrow, erf. I will also be rowing and going for a nice bike ride, so to remember all the other days when I'm not doing taxes.
